Quoted from Fooped:CactusJack (And others) sincere thanks for the info. I am nowhere near technically inclined to even attempt the repairs you mentioned. I paid 800.00 for the machine, and it currently works (albeit with the 2 maladies I described). I don't want to put a ton of effort into fixing it as it's pretty much just for parties and such. It's on my third floor and weighs about 8 billion pounds (Internet says 525 or so). Should I just sell it? I don't want to go on some wild goose chase for the appropriate monitor (which I likely couldn't change myself anyways from the sound of it).
Ugh.
IMHO, it's a great game (especially with family mode turned off...!) It's even on my wish list.
Changing monitors out is not hard at all. 25" you can do yourself if you open some space up. (My Rush driving games have 27"ers, and I can remove those myself.)
I would get the current monitor recapped, new flyback first. Then go from there.
